LAS VEGAS — Jack Eichel came to Las Vegas in 2021 with lofty expectations that he has mostly fulfilled, including helping lead the Golden Knights to the Stanley Cup championship two seasons ago. Now he has taken his game to an even higher level.

The Golden Knights played a strong defensive game and beat the Florida Panthers 4-1 at T-Mobile Arena on Sunday. Center Jack Eichel scored his third goal in two games. Defenseman Brayden McNabb also scored for the Knights (31-15-4) in just their third win in their last 10 games (3-6-1).

On Sunday, the NHL revealed the Vegas Golden Knights’ quarter-century team. As you’d expect, most of the players featured on the “roster” were on the 2023 Stanley Cup Championship team.

The NHL is back in action tonight, and the league rolls out a 10-game slate for us to navigate. I’m heading the player predictions route, and below I’ve listed my three favorite player predictions for PrizePicks.

After the Mikko Rantanen trade, anything seems possible. Let's break down who the Jets might target to upgrade their forward corps.

The marathon that is the league schedule has felt like a sprint at times this season, including when the Blue Jackets played 13 times in the first 23 days of December leading into the holiday break.

The 4 Nations Face-Off is now less than two weeks away. It begins Feb. 12 at Bell Centre in Montreal. Most NHL teams have six, seven or eight games remaining before the League breaks for the first best-on-best hockey tournament since the World Cup of Hockey 2016.

Elias Pettersson could be the odd man out in Vancouver. What does he bring, where could he land and what does Vancouver need?

No, the Islanders aren't one player away from being Stanley Cup contenders. But a retool has to start somewhere, and with the cap potentially rising closer to $100 million if the NHL and NHLPA can reach an agreement, Petterson is the guy to get for the Islanders.

NHL trade deadline is over a month away, with plenty of time for big moves, yet we’ve already seen a splash that can’t be topped. The Colorado Avalanche traded superstar winger Mikko Rantanen to the Carolina Hurricanes for Martin Necas in a move that will have massive ramifications this season and for years to come.

Vegas' winning run at home dropped to 10-4-1, while it lost the season series to the Stars, losing two of three (1-1-1).

Anton Lundell scored for Florida, which was playing its second game in as many nights after cruising to a 7-2 victory against the San Jose Sharks on Saturday.
